Blu-Ray Review: ‘The Spy Next Door’ Functions as an Ultra-Lame Babysitter
Submitted by mattmovieman on May 20, 2010 - 10:33amCHICAGO – “The Spy Next Door” pairs a man who can’t speak English with three kids who can’t act. They’re forced to recite dialogue credited to three writers who are incapable of writing a single line of wit or originality. Worst of all, the film is directed by a man whose last halfway decent family flick was 1992’s “Beethoven.” Rarely has a mainstream release looked so much like Amateur Hour.
